Chapter 164
When Chase finished speaking, the people on the spot were all stunned.
A chilly feeling spread throughout their bodies!
Chase had pointed out all the key points!
Earlier, everyone was still in a daze. After all, too many plot twists had happened, and there was too much information to absorb.
But after Chase’s explanation, everyone came to their senses at once!
The Song family should not be held guilty because they never knew about the poisonous effect of the Heption Herbs!
But, on the other hand, the Zhao family…
They clearly knew the danger of overconsumption of the herbs yet they deliberately turned a blind eye to it!
The Zhao’s were truly sinister indeed!
The Zhao family was so despicable that they had the audacity to feed the Hexaleaf to the patients in front of everyone’s eyes!
The case had been set in stone.
They couldn’t deny it even if they wanted to!
Daniel’s face was blanched!
The move Lincon had been so proud of turned out to be the deadliest weapon in Chase’s hands!
And now, there was no chance for the Zhao family to refute!
In a blink of an eye, the Zhao family was branded with the crime of spreading false information and murder!
Sut was this the end?
Not yet!
Chase continued, “I’m sure no one has any objections to the second crime. Let’s talk about the third crime, which is the crime of deceiving the public.”
Everyone was looking at Chase as their eyes lit up!
Chase had managed to twist the two crimes mentioned by Daniel without any difficulty earlier!
What about the third crime?
Bella had admitted herself a while ago! What more was there to say?
What was Chase going to do to defend Bella?
This time, Chase did not show any evidence, but slowly walked to a corner.
At the sight of that corner, the crowd started to let out a sound of exclamation.
Those people who were sitting at that corner were the poor farmers from Heption Village.
All this while, their faces were colored with worry because the Heption Herb was something even more important than their very own lives
Why did Chase approach them?
Chase walked up to Elder Li and said to him “Elder Li, my wife has been slandered by the entire city. They accuse her of being unkind and unrighteous. You two have met up quite a few times, what do you think of her character?”
Elder Li stood up shakily while Chase went over and gently supported him.
Elder Li looked at Bella as tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
“The Director Song that I know is very kind hearted.
Elder li’s eyes began to glisten as he recalled the peace and tranquillity at Heption Village, a place that was far away from the hustle and bustles of the city.
He then began to tell everyone about the times when Bella went down to Heption Village twice.
“It was raining so heavily that day. DirectornSong saw that all our herbs were being damaged by the flash flood and sympathized with us. I will never forget when she kneeled at the entrance of Heption Village as she prayed on our behalf. I will never forget her helpless and desperate face…”
Elder Li sniffled as he remarked, “She has a heart of gold, and her kindness will forever be etched in our hearts!”
“Besides, she had never deceived people!
The day she said she would purchase the Heption Herbs, some of us did receive five million yuan from Mr. Chase and sold a portion of the Heption Herb to her. If you don’t believe me, we can show you the proof, Elder Li said while looking at the farmers behind him.
Those old men nodded and took out more than a dozen purchase contracts with their trembling hands.
It was Chase’s name that was signed on them.
The date coincided with the day Bella announced that she would buy the Heption Herb too.
The appearance of these contracts made everyone quiet.
Bella did not deceive anyone.
She had done what she had promised!
At that time, the Heption Herb was already considered to be a poisonous herb. Yet, she still gave five million yuan to help these pitiful farmers…
Everyone was trying to avoid it but only Bella offered a helping hand to these poor farmers!
And, most importantly…
She was the first one to do it!
No one did anything before she The Helping Hands Medical Center only started to follow her suit in purchasing the Heption Herb after she made the announcement.
How could someone dare to say that Bella was vicious and malicious! She was obviously the opposite!
For a while, everyone looked at Bella with regrets in their eyes.
Bella was not only beautiful on the outside but also kind. It was as though she was a fairy that had descended among them.
Where on earth could they find someone as kind as her?
Her compassion touched everyone’s heart at that very moment.
Bella was tearing up, too.
But at this time, a voice was heard again,”Hmph, she only forked out a small sum of money to purchase these herbs from the farmers! Didn’t she say she would buy all the herbs in the city when she made the announcement! She never kept her word!”
It was Daniel!
When Daniel saw that Chase was able to clean Bella’s name, he was even more furious than before!
“I must make this woman fall with me! I won’t let her off so easily!”
But Chase looked at Daniel mockingly and said with a smile, “Well, let’s talk about the situation at that time. After Bella announced
it, you all went to her house to surround her that day, didn’t you?”
Some people at the scene, especially reporters, nodded blankly.
“She actually wanted to leave the house to continue her purchase, but she was swarmed and chastised by all of you. Have you all ever given her an opportunity to explain?” Chase asked.
Everyone was dumbstruck momentarily and shook their heads in unison.
At that time, as Bella did not show up.
everyone assumed that she had chickened out and couldn’t keep her promise.
Hence when she finally appeared, the crowd scolded her without giving her any chance to explain herself.
“And then, you all left in a rush after hearing about the news that the Helping Hands Medical Center wanted to buy the herb. But, which one of you heard in person from Bella that she refused to buy the herbs?” Chase
questioned.
Everyone on the scene was dumbfounded.
It seemed that what he said rang true…
Hearing this, Daniel’s face turned pale once again!
He clearly knew that Chase was eloquent!
And at this very moment, he couldn’t word his rebuttal against Chase at all!
What the F*ck!
Chase was simply insane!
He was so good at playing with words!
And now, the way the people at the scene looked at Bella had changed.
There were no longer hints of assertion in their eyes; they were ashamed of themselves for accusing her earlier.
Suddenly, a reporter stood out and bowed slightly to Bella. “Miss Song, I’m sorry. I am wrong and I apologize to you now. You are
kind-hearted, but I have been malicious towards you. I’m greatly ashamed of my own ignorance.”
The rest of the people behind him rose from their seats and bowed together to Bella, At this point in time, everyone was seen bending the upper part of their bodies toward Bella. Silence permeated every single air particle.
Anyone with conscience could tell who was kind and who was evil now.
Looking at the crowd’s reaction, Bella held her tears to prevent them from spilling out of her eyes.
Grievance…
She had never felt so aggrieved in her life…
She wanted to help those farmers, she really meant to help…
However she ended up being framed, she couldn’t even find words to explain herself.
But now, everything had turned out fine.
When she thought that there was no way out of this hardship, a man stood up for her and found a route to solve all her troubles.
Her husband, Chase, was the one who made all this possible!
He dared to offend everyone in the city for just her!
He did not mind taking the risk to go against the world if this was what it took to make the people who had wronged her bow and apologize to her.
Gone was all the grievance that had been nursing in her heart.
Instead, it was now replaced with gratitude for Chase.
However, in addition to it, she felt another strange feeling.
When did Chase become so eloquent?
That day when her place was crowded by angry citizens and reporters, it was true that she felt wronged being framed and hence she chose not to leave the house.
However, Chase skillfully twisted the scenario and put the blame back onto the crowd themselves.
He was really good at seizing these loopholes and using them as a fatal blow.
“Since Bella had not deceived anyone, then it was clear that Daniel was making up these three crimes earlier to defame us! Therefore, I would like to call out the Zhao family for deceiving the crowd!” Chase continued.
